 ___________________________________________________  An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD has been earned by  Martin Skelly, 41, St. Petersburg, Floriuh  Meth in Belly Button  Following his arrest for possession of a hypodermic needle containing methamphetamine, a 380-pound Florida Man was hit with additional felony charges after jail personnel discovered a bag of meth wedged deep within the belly button cavity of the defendant, according to a court affidavit. Police responding late Friday to a suspicious person call placed by employees of a McDonald's in Clearwater arrested Martin Skelly when a search of the 41-year-old St. Petersburg resident turned up the loaded needle. Following Skelly's collar for possession of narcotics and drug paraphernalia, cops asked him if he was in possession of any other contraband, since he could face additional charges if he brought illegal items into the county jail. Seen above, Skelly denied having any additional contraband on his person. However, during intake processing at the jail, Skelly was subjected to a thorough body search that resulted in the discovery of a small plastic bag containing 2.7 grams of meth. A jail deputy reported that the baggie was wedged deep within the belly button cavity of the 5' 8 defendant. After the meth stash was found around 1:45 AM Saturday, Skelly reportedly told an investigator, I was just being dumb and not thinking. The discovery of the hidden meth resulted in two additional felony charges being filed against Skelly--introducing contraband into a correctional facility and narcotics possession. He is locked up in lieu of $9150 bond. Skelly's criminal record includes a three-year stretch in state prison for cocaine trafficking and busts for theft, drunk driving, narcotics possession, violating probation, and possession of drug paraphernalia. 
 DearWebby's Tech Support Pits  From: Lorraine Re: Why so strict against compressed air cans?  Dear Webby, Why are you so strict against compressed air? Lorraine  Dear Lorraine Remember, years ago during the Ozone hoax period, when all fridges and freezers and air conditioners had to have the freon replaced with some more expensive gas, that was ozone friendly? A lot of that freon was just vented into the air, but some was stored, just in case somebody came up with a safe use for it. So now they are getting rid of it one can of "compressed air" at a time. Some kids have found out that huffing that stuff makes them feel weird, and every year a few dozen kids die from huffing it. The other reason to bitch against it is that even if you enjoy blasting cookie crumbs from the keyboard into your cleavage, if I am not appointed to fish them out, then I am against that silly practise. Have FUN! DearWebby

 A Sunday School teacher decided to have her young class memorize one of the most quoted passages in the Bible - Psalm 23. She gave the youngsters a month to learn the chapter. Little Rick was excited about the task - but he just couldn't remember the Psalm. After much practice, he could barely get past the first line. On the day that the kids were scheduled to recite Psalm 23 in front of the congregation, Ricky was so nervous. When it was his turn, he stepped up to the microphone and said proudly, 'The Lord is my Shepherd, and that's all I need to know.'

Big Dogs With Small Beds  ___________________________________________________ Two doctors are walking down the corridor of the hospital.
